mobilized and litigated to blunt much of those restrictions...but it's abundantly clear that after losing their Senate seats, and the Presidency, in a proven fair and free election, the Georgia GOP is doing all it can to make it harder for Dems there to vote.

The intent of the Georgia Voting Law was to unfairly limit voting by Democrats...typically African Americans...e.g. making it a misdemeanor to offer food and water to those standing in long lines...really?...as if someone standing in a line to vote for hours hadn't made their mind up yet on who they wanted to vote for...that is patently "mean spirited" on the part of the GOP and shows what their true intent is with all the other restrictions.

But that's just Georgia...you should actually read my earlier link to see what many other states are attempting to do with their laws...it all adds up to the GOP subverting democracy since the don't have the policies and candidates that will win over the majority of Americans.

As for electric vehicles...car companies have been making commitments to go with EVs long before the price of gas shot up (because of COVID and Putin)...check that out for yourself.

- Connor, for sake of discussion, assume all guns were eliminated in the US, then the tool of choice - jray - 1:31pm 5/28/22
  - We don't have to eliminate all guns...just follow Australia's lead..and it works. [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 3:35pm 5/28/22
    - "[a]cademic estimate, this amounted to about 20 percent of all privately owned guns in Australia." [LINK] - JarHead4ND - 10:45pm 5/28/22
      - Actually, JH, that's somewhat encouraging...just look at the results...only one mass shooting since [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 1:25am 5/29/22

    - What about a parade for children? Is that a concern at all? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 2:54pm 5/28/22
      - Ooops! Let's not talk about that. Doesn't fit - ColeyO - 6:17pm 5/28/22

- Re banning AR type guns... [IMAGE] - NedoftheHill - 12:58pm 5/28/22
- You require an ID to buy a gun, drive a car. Why are you discriminating against blacks? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:52pm 5/28/22
  - Let’s apply the Voter ID integrity laws that you seek, to firearm purchases. - conorlarkin - 1:49pm 5/28/22
    - You dodged my question. If ID laws are discriminatory, you must want an ID check too discriminate. - NedoftheHill - 2:41pm 5/28/22
      - Voter ID laws are designed to suppress turnout, and have been proven to be discriminatory. - conorlarkin - 3:26pm 5/28/22
        The guy who won't answer my question accuses me of deflecting. Nice try. - NedoftheHill - 1:42pm 5/30/22
        
        Where have voter ID laws suppressed turnout? [NT] - notredame678 - 3:43pm 5/28/22

        LOL...the only way you get to make that comment is by not reading my link...willful ignorance is - TyroneIrish - 1:29am 5/29/22

        As proven in the last election, it did nothing of the sort. [NT] - notredame678 - 1:56pm 5/29/22
        Not for lack of trying on the part of the GOP ;-)...but there are other very disturbing laws [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 2:46pm 5/29/22
        As usual you do not post facts, just leftist tripe. - notredame678 - 3:00pm 5/29/22
    - Why not? Both are Constitutional rights. [NT] - notredame678 - 2:18pm 5/28/22
  - Ding ding ding, back ground checks are racist [NT] - holybull101 - 12:56pm 5/28/22
    - Notably, urban blacks are buying AR's in large numbers at gun shows. - NedoftheHill - 1:44pm 5/28/22
- it was hidden but what you really want is to be able to go after gun manufacturers. 18 or 21..why - WestCoastIrishFan - 12:41pm 5/28/22
  - Yes, missed that -absurd bullshit. Points out Left isnt reasonable in its negotiations [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 6:39am 5/29/22
  - And why age? Why not other demographic factors that directly relate to gun violence? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:45pm 5/28/22
    - because then it’s discriminatory. [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 12:54pm 5/28/22
      - And truth be told, Dems don't actually worry about urban black deaths due to crime. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 1:02pm 5/28/22
- Just for the record, there is already universal background checks for gun show purchases. - NedoftheHill - 12:26pm 5/28/22
  - Not for unlicensed dealers who frequent gun shows. [NT] - conorlarkin - 12:34pm 5/28/22
    - And not for "unlicensed dealers" who sell by meeting people on line or elsewhere. - NedoftheHill - 12:40pm 5/28/22
- I would go along with about 70% of those changes - BaronVonZemo - 12:07pm 5/28/22
  - So would a large majority of Americans. But, the gun lobby has "bought" the folks you vote for. [LINK] - conorlarkin - 12:30pm 5/28/22
    - Problem is you need to create a system which cannot be abused. For example... - NedoftheHill - 12:35pm 5/28/22
      - Exactly the problem. The Left DOES plan to abuse the power. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 5:02pm 5/28/22
      - Then work the problem, Debbie Downer. Crafting effective legislation takes skill and foresight. - conorlarkin - 12:40pm 5/28/22
        It would help if Dems weren't trying to abuse laws. You guys are selective on enforcement of laws. - NedoftheHill - 12:43pm 5/28/22
        Yep. They can't be trusted. Demons. [NT] - jakers - 1:13pm 5/28/22
- I think the Democrat’s proposal of aborting them is the solution [NT] - holybull101 - 11:47am 5/28/22
